So.
I have this collection of tiny animals, carved from stone. They're all about the size of the pad of my thumb, carved from various semiprecious stones and polished until shiny; they feel a lot like those little tiny plastic dinosaurs I loved as a kid, but even better, because my other collectible fetish is shiny rocks, so these little stone animals satisfy both my nostalgia and my fetish in one swell foop.
Anyway.
These animals -- twenty or so -- all stand on the little Chinese hardwood chest that I keep my art supplies in, on the big L-shaped desk I'm sitting at now. Unfortunately, since I live down here and work on this desk for twelve hours a day, the little stone animals get jostled around a lot, and tend to fall over.
I looked up just now and the giraffe was snuggling the whale. I mean, really obviously snuggling the whale, with its head resting peaceably on the whale's head and everything. They made a really cute if improbable and noncanonical couple, poster animals for miscegenation.
Boy.

OMG HOT HOT WHAEL ON GIRAFF SEXXXOR CLICK HERE!
I project stuff onto my figures and such all the time. I have a Rainbow Brite doll perched on the mirror above my computer, and it falls at LEAST twice a week, so I've determined it's obviously suicidal 'cause it's convinced I do nothing but search for porn when she sees me using my computer.
Or maybe the Donald Duck doll talks her into it. He IS a right pantsless bastard, y'know.

Actually, that's not really that bad.
Or maybe it is. I'm just inured to stuff like that. A----- slashed my socks at LepreCon. (I was wearing mixmatched Grytfindor and Slytherin socks..) And wasn't overly surprised or bothered.
So.
I had a point, but I think it was on top of my head..

Slash = taking two male (in this case) characters from a book, movie, anime, or RPG and ficcing them to have sex with each other. More or less.
La.

On my desk I have... a bean bag snowman and a frog clock. Now, that's a doomed couple.
Coming soon to a theatre near you... the couple that climate forgot!

hehe...I have a friend who has suggested slashing two of her co-workers in a comic for revenge, because there's no way they'd ever find it online XD

Y'know, I always thought the term "slash" caught both male AND female same-sex encounters; didn't know it was germane just to the male ones.
So what do they call female/female fics? Y'know, besides RED HOT SIZZLIN'.
Posted by Shaz @ 06/03/2002 09:16 PM EST
Yeah, as far as I know 'slash' covers both kind of same-sex encounters. I, personally, use the term 'yaoi' as a subset of 'slash', to mean 'slash involving Japanese-created characters such as those from anime and RPG'. Even though this is not, technically, correct. I've never been detail-oriented.
I said 'male (in this case)' because I assume that the giraffe and the whale are both male. Most of my tiny stone animals are, you know. Well, I assume. When it comes to animals carved out of gemstone I'm not terribly worried about the sociological repercussions of assuming 'male' to be the default gender.
... I think about this stuff too much.

A bunny puppet with big velvet-painting eyes and no mouth
Eevee*
A little doberman
A flower with a happy face in it (upside-down)
Santa Claus
...I'm doomed.
* ...and to my own defense, that's only there because I have a pet that looks like Eevee.
Eesh, this is one way to amuse yourself in any situation...
